CGiii Comment
Danny Dyer being dire - okay, not so funny but much funnier than this vapid and mindless crap.
What to expect: there's a brother who pays a rent boy to seduce his autistic brother, there's a suicide pact and there's a mother who digs up her dead, drug-dealing addict son.
Cheery stuff and really so pointless that wasting your time watching this overtly offensive crap is a criminal offense.
If you buy this - demand your money back - because you won't get back the time you wasted watching it.

The(ir) Blurb...
Eight haunted people meet and fall apart - looking for redemption in each other. Jim is throwing watermelons off his office roof. He's testing the effect for a possible suicide. But then there is Sue on an adjacent roof about to jump herself. They meet, delay their departure and set off searching for other ways out than down. Sue's ex-boyfriend, Dean, is struggling with his creativity. His paintings are getting panned and his poetry ripped apart. He needs a muse - and who better than Gina, the experimental prostitute with dodgy legs who lives next door. However, Dean soon finds out that Gina never does anything for free. After a short fling with Dean, Olly is lost in a world of sexual confusion when forced to look after his deaf-mute brother Chris for the day. Olly discovers that not only does Chris has gay feelings too, but is more comfortable with them than he is. They embark on a searing quest through Soho's gay community to help Chris loose his virginity.
